Hi
Seem to recall seeing someone set up their Bradley in their garage using a kitchen vent system. Can someone point me to that feed or share photo's of their setup.
Thank you

There are several threads on this. Here's a recent one: Garage Rigging / Smokin in the Rain (http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=27650.0)
In fact, here's a whole Google list of threads about it: Garage Vent (http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Abradleeysmoker.com+garage+vent&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1#hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&sclient=psy-ab&q=site:bradleysmoker.com+garage+vent&oq=site:bradleysmoker.com+garage+vent&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=12&gs_upl=15453l15453l0l19750l1l1l0l0l0l0l141l141l0.1l1l0&gs_l=serp.12...15453l15453l0l19750l1l1l0l0l0l0l141l141l0j1l1l0.frgbld.&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=ce115d05ebe7b36c&biw=1680&bih=887)
Just keep in mind that if you are going to do this... NEVER EVER leave it unattended.... and definitely no overnight smokes! Just do a search on smoker fires on this forum and you'll see some pretty spectacular remains of what used to be lovely Bradleys!
It's not that they're dangerous per se ... but rendered dripping fat + bisquette burner + glowing oven element = reasonable risk!
I fastened a 90 deg elbow over my vent,which I leave fully open,then ran a 5' piece of stove pipe out a sliding window in the garage. I cut a hole the same diamiter as the stove pipe in a piece of plywood,and slide the window shut on the ply,and run the pipi thru' the hole.Keeps cold and drafts out of the garage.
When I want to smoke,I just roll the BDS over to the window and 'way I go !!
Works for me !
